It was the Allen family's turn to plan the Bell reunion this year. We met at beautiful Fish Lake and had fun visiting with cousins we don't get to see any other time.
Liam and Spencer "hit" it off right away with a Nerf sword fight. Liam won!
The theme was "Soar High" or "Take Flight" or "Aim Higher." Anyway, the idea was for everyone to aim higher in their personal and family life. We had lots of fun crafts for every age to illustrate the theme.
The Father-Son bottle rocket building and launching was a big hit. They spent hours sending their water rockets into the air!
Spencer was in charge of the Mentos and Coke demonstration.
I love this picture of him, so excited that it worked!
I taught all the kids how to make paper airplane launchers.
Ready, Aim,...Don't you dare!
I also showed them how to do alka-seltzer rockets out of film canisters. They used up my entire supply! This was a great activity and they loved it!
After all that, it was time to rest. Uncle Dan brought a great big hammock and the cousins enjoyed their down time.
Later that night there was a treasure hunt for the kids, a yummy BBQ sandwich dinner complete with dutch oven cobbler, and a fireside program. Can't beat spending time in the outdoors with family!
